Looks like someone heard from Brooklyn today with an acceptance! Congrats to whomever that is! Word is Hunter will be reaching out first week of March for interviews - but who knows!

I know we will likely not hear anything for another 3-4 weeks minimum - but is anyone else obsessively checking their email/unable to think about anything else? I thought once I submitted the apps I'd be able to chill out since it was out of my hands but the anxiety is next level! I'm going to start a new play to try and distract myself a bit - but I think I'm just looking for some folks to commiserate with. The wait is unbearable! This sucks so bad! One moment I feel hopeful the next I think I'm kidding myself. Anyway - just blasting this message off into the universe to folks who also get it. I know I'm still a a real writer with exciting and worthwhile stories regardless of the results of MFA apps - but boy oh boy do I wish I just knew what was going to happen! Wishing you all the best. Thanks for listening to me whine lol

Hi playwright pals! Happy New Year! I officially have all of my apps in! What a wild and emotionally draining process! Now for the excruciating waiting. Sending you all the best vibes as we get these apps in!

I'm applying to Hunter, Brooklyn, Julliard, Brown and Yale. (Sending in Yale and Julliard apps next week 🙃) Last I heard Rutgers is taking 2023 applicants - although looks like their site isn't updated yet. Not sure about Ohio.

Same here, Raja! Feeling very different than when I first applied after undergrad. Definitely have a stronger understanding of myself as a writer and human. And yet - this process is overwhelming! So many big feelings. Applying to these programs is an act of ultimate vulnerability and that shit is scary. Good luck to everyone this cycle! I hope we all find our place
